Community is dened as a group of people living in the same place or having a particular
characteristic in common. Communities are a large part of our world today and they have
considerable impact in the success of many dierent aspects of life. Recently, we have
seen the development of a new idea of a community throughout several dierent cities.
This new idea is called a symbiotic district and takes a new approach to environmental,
funtional, economic, and cultural ideas while also promoting the symbiotic relationships
between all of the included parties. Starkville, MS is the next city in line to develop a
symbiotic distric and become a more progressive community. The Starkville Symbiosis
project is modeled after the Build Ivy Wild project and has used it as a signicant
resource in the development process. For the environmental context, the Starkville
Symbiosis project will put a heavy focus on recycling, composting, and the reduction of
waste. Recycling is becoming more and more important each day and we must educate
people on the importance of protecting the environment through the reduction of waste.
Functionality in the Starkville Symbiotic District is important for the tenants of the space,
including the community that will inhabit it. Without a properly fuctioning space, success
will be limited. The space must be exible to suit the needs of the tenant and allow for
maximum usage. Finally, the cultural aspects can be considered the most important
aspect of a symbiotic district. In order to have a successful district, the community must
be on board and be actively involved. Some of the ways to do this are keeping vendors
local, keeping production in house and local, and encouraging the sale and production of
local merchandaise.
